##Wedge, Newport Beach, CA.Convergence...The

There is this place, a special place, a man-made nexus in Southern California called The Wedge. 

Locals know. Tourists rarely get there. A point where waves come in two directions and converge with outgoing flows to create large waves very close to shore.

Bodyboards are the safest, but surfer dudes can't pass up storm-induced sets. People have died here. For a summer, I lived on Balboa, the Wedge was within walking distance away. #Turbulance and #Convergence are natural and man-influenced phenomena. At the time, I didn't realize the significance; only today do I recognize the simile:

The dealer channel is in the middle of the maelstrom and has always surfed the Wedge. 55-degree saltwater, ears full of sand, and the possibility of ultimate elimination do not stop you.

You hit the sets every, single morning. Who is there with you? Does your body-board manufacturer tell you how to set up for a wave? Are your board shorts too tight or heaven forbid, too loose?

Do surf vendors tell surfers how to surf?

"You Gave Up a Steady Paycheck...Maybe It's Not Worth It."

I'd never heard of Keap.com but the video caught my eye.

Whoever produced this hit the nail on the head for the SMB. The Keap offering is a #Converged solution stack of services on one platform.  Designed to help businesses stay in business, the accompanying script is full of doubter cliches.

QUOTES WE'VE ALL HEARD:

• "Hey, listen. Maybe owning a business is too much to handle right now."
• "You gave up a steady paycheck to chase this dream. Maybe it's not worth it."
• "Do you have any idea how hard it is to find new clients these days?"
• "It's great that you took the risk but it's time to admit it's not working."
• "I know you're passionate about this...I know you gave it your best shot but maybe it's time...to get a real job."

Memorial Day - What Does it Mean?

You could google it.

You could look it up.

You could go to the VFW and ask.

Maybe check out those guys riding motorcycles from Arizona to DC - they have a message.

Memorial Day in the USA. What is it?
